Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given sediment with an initial contaminant concentration profile and specified boundary conditions, derive a time-dependent concentration equation using Laplace transforms.
💡 Hint: Focus on how the boundary and initial conditions shape the solution.
Analyze a case where contamination is detected at varying depths in a sediment core sample. Discuss the implications for monitoring and remedial efforts.
💡 Hint: Connect the analytical results to practical sampling strategies.
